late at night.

Chang'an City, Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace.

Because of the incident involving Prince Li Chengqian, Li Shimin couldn't sleep at all, so he started reviewing the memorial. However, the scene of Li Chengqian and the musicians making love to each other on Chang'an Avenue lingered in his mind for a long time, and he could not review the memorial seriously.

At this moment, Wang Ling hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, Queen Changsun is asking for an audience outside the palace!"

"No! Let her go back to Lizheng Palace!"

Li Shimin knew that Empress Changsun must have come to plead for Prince Li Chengqian, so naturally he could not see her.

"Yes." Wang Ling retreated.

But soon, Wang Ling came back and said, "Your Majesty, Queen Changsun said that if you don't see her, she will kneel outside the palace!"

Li Shimin was annoyed to death, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "If she wants to kneel down, just kneel down."

"Wang Ling!"

"My slave is here."

"Go and call Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and other six ministers and other ministers to me, saying that I have important matters to discuss with them!"

???

Wang Ling was a little confused and quickly said: "Your Majesty, it is already the ugly time. The ministers are probably already asleep at this time. In one or two hours, there will be an early morning court meeting. If you don't wait..."

Before Wang Ling could finish speaking, Li Shimin interrupted him impatiently, "I can't wait any longer, so I'll go now!"

"yes!"

Wang Ling hurriedly agreed, having a hunch in his heart that something big was going to happen tonight.

"Wait a minute, call King Yan here too." Li Shimin added.

???

Wang Ling was stunned again and did not dare to ask any more questions. He nodded and said, "It's your Majesty. I'll take care of it now!"

For a while.

More than ten eunuchs were dispatched from the palace to the residences of princes and ministers in Chang'an City.

"Mr. Qi, I, following the emperor's instructions, please come into the palace to discuss important matters with me!"

"Gong Lu, the emperor invites you to the Ganlu Hall to discuss important matters!"

"E Guo Gong, don't sleep, the emperor wants to see you!"

"Wang Shangshu, His Majesty has spoken and ordered to come to the palace to see you!"

"Lord Cen, please follow me into the palace. Your Majesty has something important to discuss with you!"

.....

For a time, the city of Chang'an was turbulent.

The ministers who received the invitation to the palace got up one after another, put on their court uniforms, and followed the eunuch who delivered the order into the palace. On the way, they kept thinking about the reason why His Majesty summoned them.

People who had not received an audience also began to inquire through various channels.

In short, many people had no intention of sleeping that night!

On the streets of Chang'an, a team of Jinwu Guards on patrol looked at the carriages heading towards the palace one after another. Everyone from the leading captain to the soldiers were very surprised.

"Boss, what happened today! Why did these princes and ministers stay up so late at night and all went to the palace? Could it be that something big happened?"

"Yes! Duke of Qi, Duke of Lu, King of Hejian... there are quite a few of these big shots, and the carriages are moving in a hurry!"

"The ugly period hasn't ended yet. Even if we have to attend the morning court, isn't it too early?"

The soldiers discussed carefully.

"Is it possible...that something like Xuanwumen will happen again?"

"Shh! You want to die! If you don't know, don't talk nonsense!"

…

"Well? Brother, do you know something?"

"Humph, of course. I heard from a brother that last night, His Majesty went on patrol incognito and bumped into the Crown Prince and a musician... He summoned so many ministers in the middle of the night to discuss the matter of deposing the Crown Prince!"

"If that's the case, it's really possible!"

The school captain quickly stopped him and said, "Stop talking nonsense. These things have nothing to do with us. We should patrol properly. If any thieves take the opportunity to cause trouble, it will be our own heads that will be lost!"

....

Manna Hall.

Many princes and ministers are already in place!

But Queen Changsun was still kneeling outside the palace, refusing to leave.

Everyone was anxious and nervous, but Li You was very annoyed!

He was obviously sleeping soundly in his palace!

However, he was forcibly awakened by the eunuch who came to deliver the order. When he woke up, without saying a word, he beat the eunuch violently.

After the fight, he discovered that this was the eunuch Li Shimin sent to call him to discuss matters in the Manlu Palace.

Originally, Li You didn't plan to go, but he couldn't stand it. The eunuch, who was beaten with a bruised nose and face, begged and said that if Li You didn't go, he would be beheaded.

The eunuch burst into tears, which moved Li You so much. In addition, he also beat him up violently, so he had no choice but to agree to come to Manlu Palace.

"Your Highness King Yan, in front of you is the Manlu Palace. Just go in. I have to leave!"

The eunuch who delivered the order struggled to smile and said.

Li You looked at the eunuch and found it interesting, so he asked: "What's your name?"

"If you return to Your Highness, my servant Zhang Ananda."

"Zhang Ananda, I remember you." Li You felt that the name was vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember anything related to it, so he didn't continue to think about it.

"Slave, please retire!" Zhang Ananda withdrew with some excitement. After all, he could be remembered by His Majesty the Emperor's favorite prince. It seems that this beating was not in vain!

^0^ When Li You came to the outside of Ganlu Hall, he met Wang Gui who was coming in a hurry!

Wang Gui was trotting, while Li You was strolling, so Wang Gui quickly ran in front of Li You, but the old guy turned his head and glanced at Li You, with seven points of disdain and two points in his eyes. Anger and a bit of doubt!

This made Li You feel speechless!

I don’t seem to have offended this old man with a goatee, right?

This Wang Gui is the Minister of Rites and can be regarded as a powerful figure in the court, but Li You is not afraid at all. He is now General Zuowuwei and a third-rank official, not to mention he is still a prince!

Wang Gui bowed to Empress Changsun who was kneeling outside the palace and then entered the Ganlu Palace.

Li You looked over and was a little surprised when he saw the kneeling Queen Changsun!

[Queen Changsun is actually kneeling! It seems that Li Er is indeed a little angry today!]

[I have always heard that Li Er and Empress Changsun have a very good relationship. Because of Li Chengqian’s incident, Empress Changsun knelt outside the palace. Li Chengqian’s son is not cheating his father, but cheating his mother!]

In the main hall, Li Shimin looked at the noisy ministers and couldn't help but feel even more annoyed. He originally asked the ministers to discuss together and come up with a proper solution, but many ministers could not discuss it because of their different positions. Go together.

…

When he heard Li You's inner voice, he suddenly became energetic for some reason!

After all, every time he listens to Li You's inner complaints and combines it with Li You's daily diary, he can always find the best way to solve the problem!

Therefore, whenever he encounters something that cannot be solved for a while, Li Shimin wants to hear Li You's inner thoughts! And Li You has never let him down. The only bad thing is that hearing too much of Li You's thoughts will make him heartbroken. I can't stand it, some of the words are really too irritating.

But in order to solve the problem, Li Shimin couldn't control it so much.

Li Shimin looked at the door of the hall, looking expectantly, waiting for the figure to arrive.

"Meet the Queen!"

Li You slowly walked to Queen Changsun and saluted.

Queen Changsun looked up and was a little surprised when she saw it was King Yan Li You!

Unexpectedly, King Yan Li You also came to participate in this discussion. She knew very well that His Majesty called so many princes and ministers to Ganlu Hall, most likely to discuss the treatment of Prince Li Chengqian.

Those who are qualified to participate in this discussion are at least third-rank officials in the court, princes, and princes. Although King Yan Li You is of sufficient rank, his qualifications, prestige, and ability are not enough. In theory, he is not qualified. , and she has been kneeling here for a long time. Except for Yan King Li You, she did not see Wei King Li Tai and Han King Li Ke. His Majesty must have only invited Yan King Li You among the princes!

"Yes." Empress Changsun nodded slightly, maintaining the queen's demeanor, "Hurry in, don't keep Your Majesty waiting!"

"yes."

Li You nodded and then strode into the Ganlu Hall.

And when all the princes and ministers saw the figure of King Yan Li You, each one was more surprised than the other!

"King Yan? What is he here for?"

"Could it be that His Majesty also called him to discuss matters?"

"What does King Yan know?"
